Pollinators
Original watercolor by Tim Myrick
22"hX 30"w
Artist's Story
My art invites the viewer to step inside the scene to experience a moment in time. This watercolor invites the viewer to approach the stamen of a giant Hibiscus blossom and experience the process of pollination as bees buzz in to collect nectar. They are inevitably covered with pollen, which they carry from flower to flower pollinating each in the process. As an artist and an avid gardener, observing the act of pollination is endlessly fascinating!
Artist's Statement
I’ve known I was an artist since I was 8 years old. After graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Cleveland Institute of Art, I pursued a corporate career as a creative director for over 25 years, while continuing to paint and show my work.
Following a period of extreme illness, I received the lifesaving gift of a kidney transplant in 2022. It was truly the first day of the rest of my life. As I recovered, I was energized by the pure joy of being in the studio painting daily. My creativity and my dedication to my work elevated to new levels.
My goal is to create art that engages the viewer. Watercolor is, for me, the perfect medium to interpret and portray the sights and mood that make the story of a particular scene so compelling. Recently, I rediscovered both my early love of nature, and my passion for capturing its warmth, complexity, and abstractions through my watercolors.
I now dedicate the majority of my time to my art, in addition to teaching art at the college level, creating bonsai, gardening, and landscaping.
